Companies now have a dedicated command center for managing their collaborative network. The new Collaboration Dashboard provides a high-level overview of how passengers are moving (or getting stuck) within your company and/or partnership.

We've introduced a new documentation page to cover the Collaboration Dashboard. You can read it here.

The dashboard highlights key performance indicators such as Delivery Rate (how effectively you are moving passengers) and Stuck Airports (bottlenecks where passengers are piling up). You can switch between viewing data for your specific company or the entire partnership to gauge overall health.

A new Flows view visualizes the movement of collaborative demand across the network, helping you identify high-traffic routes at a glance. Additionally, the Partner Share tab breaks down contributions, showing exactly how much demand and potential revenue each partner is bringing to the table.

Note: Before this update there was no mechanism to attribute the company that introduced collaborative demand into the partnership and as such all collaborative demand is assigned to the lead partner. Going forward all new collaborative demand will be correctly attributed to the correct company.

Releasing Collaborative Demand

Sometimes your network can't handle the load, and passengers are left waiting too long. You now have the ability to release collaborative demand back to the public pool.

You can choose to release All Demand or specifically Urgent Demand (passengers who have been waiting past the 14-day threshold). This can be done globally from the dashboard overview or granularly for specific airports or routes via the detailed airport dialogs.

Releasing demand ensures that passengers aren't stranded indefinitely in your system if you lack the capacity to fly them, protecting your reputation (soon to be implemented) and allowing other operators to pick them up.

Targeting Stuck Passengers

A new filter is available in your Pricing Strategies to help move stagnant demand.

The Waiting For Days filter allows you to apply specific pricing rules (such as aggressive discounts) to collaborative passengers who have been waiting longer than a set number of days. This helps prioritise clearing older demand from your system without manually intervening on every route.

Other Changes

• Collaborative demand originally created by your company is now tracked and returned to your internal audience if you leave a partnership.

When you pause your simulator, the Company Clock will now pause with it. This ensures you are not penalized with accumulating background costs such as agreements and loan repayments while attending to real-life interruptions during a flight.

Because the simulator does not send a direct "pause" signal to the server, the system infers a paused state if no flight telemetry (sitreps) are received for 5 minutes. Once you unpause the simulator and flight data resumes, the Company Clock automatically restarts.

Small Improvements

• We have removed the calculation cap (saturation) on route demand. Previously, extremely high Economy numbers could hit the calculation limit before Business or First Class passengers were counted, causing premium demand to appear as zero. This may result in slower route demand refresh.
• Route demand now displays the exact passenger count for all classes rather than a capped estimate (e.g., "3.00K+").

• Fixed a bug that would prevent filtering hireable aircraft by number of seats
• Added separate first, business and econony seat number filters for hireable aircraft
• Restricted the maximum seat number to 20 for all hireable aircraft seat filters

You now have more granular control over your ticket pricing with new airport-type filters and the ability to temporarily pause active strategies and price-out passengers.

Airport Size Filters

You can now apply strategies to passengers who have a final destination of a Heliport and price them out or incentivise them - useful for preventing passengers with hard-to-deliver endpoints from boarding your routes.

Strategy Pausing

Active pricing strategies can now be paused and resumed without being deleted or ended permanently.

This is ideal for temporary promotional pauses or adjusting fleet operations without losing your complex strategy configurations. While paused, ticket prices will revert to baseline levels, and once resumed, the rules stack again immediately.

Price Out Passengers

By using the new Price Out feature, you can automatically set ticket prices so high that passengers will no longer book that route. Previously strategy surcharges were capped at 100%, which would not be enough to price out passengers on low-fare routes.

Other Changes

• Improved route demand logic to ensure passengers on connecting journeys are correctly identified for "Last Leg" pricing rules.
• Fixed an issue in the Strategy Preview dialog where switching between aircraft types would occasionally fail to update projected demand.
• Enhanced the active strategies display to show surcharges more clearly (instead of negative discounts), preventing confusion.

• Fix some buttons in the Operations Cockpit showing for users who did not have permission to click on them.
• Prevented an issue where jobs inside draft dispatch plans were incorrectly updated or released when prerequisites were met by inbound flights, leaving the Dispatch Plan in a broken state.

You can now send FSMail messages directly to other players (P2P) or to the staff of another company (P2C) using a new dedicated compose interface. This long-requested feature makes it easy to open a dialogue for partnerships, sales, or general conversation - all without leaving the FSCharter platform.

To start a new message, simply head to the FSMail page and use the new Compose button to open the messaging panel.



Sending to a Company (P2C)

When sending to a company, your message will only be delivered to staff members who have the Receive Company FSMail privilege. This is enabled by default for the Owner and Operations Manager roles to prevent unsolicited messages from reaching everyone in your company.

Replying to Messages

You can now quickly reply to any FSMail message using the new Reply button in the message display panel. This pre-fills the sender and quotes the original message body, making conversation simple.

Improved Airport Finder with Map and Preview

The airport selection dialog has been overhauled to significantly enhance your search and planning experience.

Integrated Map View

A new map view is now available alongside the searchable airport list. This allows you to visually explore the available airports and interactively select a potential destination.

Quick Preview and Selection

Hovering over an airport on the map and pressing i on your keyboard or clicking the i button on the table row brings up a dedicated preview panel to show detailed airport information, including the available runways. Alternatively clicking on the airport on the map or the table row will immediately select it.

Other improvements

• Appropriate protections are now in place to prevent incompatible images being uploaded for logos or avatars.
• Fixed a bug that prevented free users from refreshing route demand.
• You can now correctly unboard an aircraft even if it has been re-boarded during a stopover.
• When filtering demand by a radius around an airport, the system will now automatically cap your requested radius to the maximum permitted value instead of throwing an error.
• Fixed a bug where viewing certain demand when configuring aircraft-for-hire jobs would return no demand.

When you select an aircraft for hire in the marketplace, the list of available jobs (demand) is now automatically filtered to only show contracts that are within a realistic operating range for that specific aircraft.

Previously, you might have selected a short-range aircraft only to be presented with job opportunities hundreds or thousands of nautical miles away, leading to jobs you couldn't actually complete. Now, the system automatically applies a distance filter to the job list. This filter is calculated to be 120% of the aircraft's base range, giving you a small buffer while ensuring the available jobs are sensible. If the aircraft owner has specified a manual range filter this will be applied instead of the default range filter.

Additionally, we've made it easier to see the passenger capacity of the aircraft you're about to hire. When browsing the demand for an aircraft you will now see a clear badge showing the number of First, Business, and Economy seats available on the aircraft right next to its name.

Other improvements

• Removed pagination from the aircraft for hire list to allow for quicker and more comprehensive browsing of all available aircraft without needing to click through pages. All aircraft are now shown by default.
• We've removed the default, non-functional marker that used to appear alongside the aircraft icon when you clicked to place a new aircraft in the world.
• The map used in the aircraft-for-hire marketplace no longer attempts to automatically zoom in every time you update the results or click the Search this area button.

We're replacing the former "Create Job" feature in your Passenger Services buildings with a more flexible and robust Company Collaboration system. This change simplifies how you share demand with partners, prevents issues related to automatically created, unoptimised micro-jobs and removes the requirement for partners to grant you Create Dispatch Plans privileges in your company.

Going forward, your Passenger Services building will no longer automatically create and dispatch jobs for you or your partners. Instead, it will assign the final leg's demand as a collaborative opportunity directly to the designated company.

When configuring a destination for your Passenger Services, select Company Collaboration and choose an active member of your partnership from the dropdown list. This demand will only be visible to the specified partner company and will appear as collaborative demand in their Demand lens. This means that they can combine it with other demand, route it efficiently, and dispatch full aircraft. This was previously possible on when the Internal Collaboration option was selected, which made the demand available to all members of the partnership.

Additionally, to prevent confusion and accidental transfers, any demand assigned via Company Collaboration is now "pinned" to the target company, meaning it won't accidentally be bundled into a partnership-wide asset transfer.

Other Improvements

• Data Migration: All existing Passenger Services configurations that used the old Create Job action have been automatically migrated to the new Company Collaboration action, and the company is now referenced by its permanent ID (UUID) instead of the ICAO code.
• Bug Fix: Addressed a critical bug that prevented you from accepting route jobs when a previous Passenger Services configuration was linked to an old, non-existent ICAO code.

You now have more flexibility when making large financial transfers from companies to users or other companies, such as for major deals with partners.

The maximum amount of money your company can transfer is now calculated using a new formula, which is designed to allow larger transfers for financially healthy companies while preventing exploitation of the company loan system.

Previously, your transfer limit was capped at your monthly profit. Now, the limit is the highest of the following two amounts:

1. Your current Bank Balance minus your Outstanding Loans.
2. Your Monthly Profit.

This means if you have a high bank balance and low debt, you can transfer more than your monthly profit. Conversely, if you have a high level of outstanding loans, the system defaults to your monthly profit limit, ensuring a safe limit is maintained.

This change opens up new avenues for partnership negotiation and collaboration, giving you better financial control without compromising the system's integrity.

Other improvements

• Improved error messages during money transfers to clearly indicate whether the balance-based or profit-based limit is being applied.

We have corrected a long-standing issue where Owner Salary Payments were being credited to your personal account but were not properly debited from your company's bank account (oops)!

Previously, when you received your monthly salary based on your company's profit, your personal funds increased, but the company's funds were not reduced, leading to an artificially inflated company balance.

With this fix, salary payments now correctly operate as an outgoing payment from your company to you, ensuring the company's financial records are accurate.

• This change is only a correction to the ledger and does not affect the amount of salary you actually received. Your personal balance remains unchanged.
• We have automatically processed a correction payment for any past salary payments to deduct the amount from your company's bank account, ensuring your company's balance is now accurate. In some rare cases, this may cause your company's balance to go negative temporarily, but it correctly reflects the true financial state.

Small Improvements

• Fixed a local cache issue for new users

We've been listening to your feedback regarding the current implementation of the contracts system, particularly how the three-contract limit can too easily lock out non-premium users early in their FSCharter career. We hear you, and we agree. The current system isn't quite working as we had envisaged.

We are planning an improved, more accessible system that will benefit both pilots and companies. However, in the meantime, we have removed the three-contract limit for non-premium users. You can now apply to and hold as many active contracts as you need, giving you the flexibility to find suitable work without the fear of getting stuck with contracts from inactive companies or for undesirable routes.

Hopefully this change (coupled with the recent removal of withdrawal fees) makes the contract system more fit-for purpose as we work out a better long-term solution.

Aircraft Price Reductions

We have lowered the purchase price for all aircraft by 10% to better align to the current economy. To ensure fairness for those who have recently invested in their fleet, we have processed automatic refunds. If you own an aircraft affected by this price adjustment, the difference between your original purchase price and the new market value has been credited back to your company bank account.

Extended Loan Terms

To support faster fleet progression and better cash flow management, we have doubled the maximum repayment period for loans. You can now secure loans with terms of up to 120 cycles (previously capped at 60). Spreading payments over a longer period reduces your recurring cycle costs, allowing you to invest in larger, more capable aircraft earlier in your career.

Smarter Demand for Hireable Aircraft

Finding the right job for a rented aircraft just got easier. When browsing demand for a hireable aircraft, the marketplace now automatically filters out passenger groups that won't fit. The system now checks the aircraft's capacity against the available groups, ensuring you only see jobs you can actually fly.

Recurring Payments & Agreement Improvements

We have improved the company finance page to give you better visibility and control of recurring payments. You can now view the total of all recurring payments and the ability to view a detailed breakdown of your recurring expenses, categorised by type.

Additionally, the Recurring Payments tab now clearly displays the specific name of the agreement that it relates to. We have also added the ability to cancel agreements directly from the Agreements page within the Operations Cockpit, saving you unnecessary navigation steps.

Other Changes

• You can now generate and download CSV reports of all financial activity within a partnership.
• We have removed the fee for withdrawing a pending contract application. You can now change your mind and withdraw an application without financial penalty.
• Companies that are already members of an active partnership can no longer be invited to join a new one.
• Fixed an issue where "Passenger Facility Fees" (Departure) were not being refunded if a job was reset after boarding.
• Corrected the format for Hungarian aircraft tail numbers to adhere to the real-world 3-letter suffix standard (e.g., HA-ABC).
• When hovering over demand on the map, you will now see a specific breakdown of passenger classes (First, Business, Economy).
• Fixed the order of passenger class labels in the Job Overview dialog to be consistent.
• The "Create New Route" screen now displays the exact nautical mile distance between the selected airports.
• Added "Toggle All" controls to the Role Editor, allowing you to quickly check or uncheck entire groups of privileges and notifications.
• The Rank Pay editor now calculates and displays an "Effective Hourly Rate" based on the total salary and contract hours to help you set competitive wages.
• Fixed a bug where available aircraft for specific Ranks did not update immediately after modifying the Rank's constraints.
• Notifications sent when a job is reset now include detailed context, including the aircraft tail number, route, job number, and airports involved.
• Added specific filters to the job board to view only Charter jobs or Route jobs.
• Fixed an issue where all logbook entries were incorrectly labeled as charter flights regardless of their actual type.
• Fixed a bug preventing the deletion of a Rank if it had associated contracts that were already completed.
• Improved the aircraft database search; you can now search across the platform by tail number, type, ICAO code, manufacturer, model, or variant.
• Fixed the marketplace contract filter to correctly hide old, expired contracts.
• The aircraft selector in the Route Preview dialog now displays the airport where each aircraft is currently located.
• You will now see the estimated time required for jobs like "Reconfigure Seats" before confirming the work order.
• Added a filter to the job marketplace to view jobs belonging to a specific partnership.
• Fixed overlapping scrollbars on the Aircraft Database page.
• The flight map now display a "Fuel Consumed" badge for completed flights.
